This is what my book said- “Titanic’s fourth funnel was indeed a ‘dummy’, built to satisfy the balance and beauty of good liner design. But although it carried no smoke or fumes from the ship’s boilers, it wasn’t completely idle, as it provided ventilation for the turbine engine room, together with the reciprocating engine room” think about this and give me your thoughts.
